[Intro]
Just can't help, but feel the...
Just can't help, but feel the...
Just can't help, but feel the...
Paaain!

[Verse 1]
Everybody tells me that I'm just a plain old fool, yeah (plain old fool, yeah)
I can't help because I love you the way that I do (I do)
They never knew how hard I tried (I tried)
To keep you off my mind (my mind)
It's so hard (it's so hard)

[Chorus]
Everytime I think I'm getting over you
Somebody mentions your name (your name)
And this old feeling comes over me
And I just can't help but feel the pain

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I think I'm slowly losing my mind, yeah (losing my mind, yeah)
My friends say forget her and leave those memories behind (behind)
I can't forget the thrill (the thrill)
I guess I never will (never will)
It's so hard (it's so hard)

[Chorus]
And everytime I think I'm getting over you
Somebody mentions your name (your name)
And this old feeling comes over me
And I just can't help but feel the pain

[Outro]
It's so hard (it's so hard)
And everytime I think I'm getting over you
Somebody mentions your name (your name)
And this old feeling comes over me
And I just can't help but (no, no baby!)
I just can't help but (no, no baby!)
I just can't help but feel the pain
